A comparative study of German auch and Italian anche. Functional convergences and structural differences
No full textIn this paper we carry out a systematic comparison between the German and Italian particles auch and anche (meaning “also”) and provide a formal account of the data couched within the cartographic approach to syntax (Cinque 1999; Rizzi 1997; Cinque & Rizzi 2010). Based on the available literature and on novel data, we show that in both languages this particle exhibits three main functions: i) additive particle; ii) connective adverb (residual in Italian) and iii) modal particle – which correlate with a different syntactic status of the particle (head or maximal projection) and with a different position within the clause. When used as an additive particle, auch/anche lexicalize a head in the lower portion of the clause and function as focalizers (in the sense of Kayne 1998, 2005). When they are connective adverbs, they are maximal projections hosted in a functional projection dedicated to adverbs. Finally, when used as a modal particle auch/anche are heads found in the higher portion of the IP layer. German auch and Italian anche are however not identical, since when used as an additive particle, German auch, but not Italian anche, is compatible with discontinuous constructions in which a given XP in the scope of auch can be moved to Spec,CP leaving auch within the clause. Moreover, German auch is compatible with a variety of illocutionary types in its use as a modal particle, whereas anche can only be used in declarative clauses. We show that the former fact follows from asymmetries in movement options between the two languages (topics move in German but not in Italian) and the latter results from the nature of anche as a Polarity item
Corporate language for radio stations
No full textDie vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt zwei Ziele – ein theoretisches und ein praktisches. Zum einen werden die Radioformate des SR, genauer: deren Nachrichten- und Moderationstexte, einer eingehenden linguistischen und medienlinguistischen Analyse unterzogen, um deren zielgruppenspezifische sprachlichen Charakteristika objektiv nachvollziehbar identifizieren zu können. Zum anderen sollen diese Charakteristika über ein rezipientenbasiertes Modell – das über die SINUS-Milieus konkretisierte ›Drei-Adressaten-Modell‹ – zugespitzt und experimentell überprüft werden. Das übergeordnete Ziel ist zu zeigen, dass sich Programm-Marken durch gezieltes Sprach-Branding präziser auf die Hörerwartungen eines jeweils formatspezifischen Settings von Zielgruppen zuschneiden und somit spürbar erfolgreicher am hochkompetitiven Markt der deutschen Radiolandschaft etablieren lassen.This work has a theoretical and a practical request. First, the radio formats of Saarländischer Rundfunk (SR) – more accurate: the language of moderations and news typical for these formats – are linguistically analyzed by their target group specific characteristics to make them objectively identifiable. Secondly, these characteristics are linguistically re-branded and experimentally checked with the help of SINUS-Milieu based on the Three Receiver Model developed by the author. This bisected proceeding aims at empirically demonstrating how radio format\u27s branding could be calibrated even more precisely as well as effectively to listening expectations and linguistic habits of a format specific set of target groups in order to make public law radio stations even more competitive in the German radio landscape
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
„Linguisten mist“ Eine korpuslinguistische Untersuchung und optimalitätstheoretische Modellierung von Schreibvarianten in wortbildungsmorphologisch komplexen Substantiven
Full text linkBindestrich, Getrenntschreibung, Binnenmajuskel, Apostroph, an den morphologischen Grenzen deutscher Substantive gibt es abseits der Zusammenschreibung einige Schreibvarianten zu entdecken. Diese Arbeit untersucht auf Basis eines breiten Textkorpus zu verschiedenen Textformen (Zeitungstexte, Lexikonartikel, Kriminalromane, Beiträge in Diskussionsforen, SMS, Mail, Werbeanzeigen, Fachzeitschriften und Plenarprotokolle) die Schreibung an den Wortbildungsgrenzen komplexer Substantive. Die Ergebnisse der empirischen Untersuchung werden statistisch ausgewertet in Abhängigkeit von Textform, Wortbildungsprozess und Schreibvariante und anschließend optimalitätstheoretisch am Beispiel der Determinativkomposita modelliert. Das Modell ermittelt dabei nicht nur die optimale Schreibung, sondern bildet entsprechend der Korpusbelege eine graduelle Optimalität möglicher Schreibungen ab und erzielt einen Deckungsgrad von nahezu 98% über alle Textformen und Wortbildungen hinweg.Promotionsstipendium der Hanns-Seidel-Stiftun
